Diving 3: Reef Fish

A group of the common and widespread French Grunts (Haemulon flavolineatum) at Airplanes.A tiny, and much less common, Jackknife fish (Equetus lanceolatus) at Sponge Reef.I can't resist taking snaps of Boxfish. This is a Honeycomb Cowfish (Acanthostracion polygonius) at Sponge Reef......and this is a Smooth Trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter) near the Antilla wreck...
...and here's a Scrawled Cowfish (Acanthostracion quadricornis) at Arashi Reef.
Now a couple of filefishes. First a Scrawled Filefish (Aluterus scriptus) at Arashi Reef.
And next, a Whitespotted Filefish (Cantherhines macrocerus) at Harbour Reef.Spanish Hogfish (Bodianus rufus), this one at Harbour Reef, are highly variable in colour.On Sundays, the dive leaders go out hunting Common Lionfish (Pterois volitans), this one at Fingers, because they are an invasive species
and eat all the other reef fish.
